Match Game PM (Episode 122) (Lois BLANK for $20,000? with Richard Deacon?) (First $20,000 Win)

[@StLawrencePlace]

“Some people got Paul Lynde, we got her”!

[@pencils812]

Hahahahaha!

[@CousinOresama]

4:06 Brett makes everyone's life a living hell. 11:20 Fannie got the big mouth part right.

[@kristabrewer6736]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣is that why 95% of the people on here love her

[@lynskyrd78]

More like 1% you like her can you read? Seems like you can only text one thing. Over and over...where do you get your info??????

[@grapplergirl10]

Fannie is always adorable!

[@nestorsuan2182]

grapplergirl10 Yes, Ms. Fannie is always adorable!

[@purplefuku]

Richard Deacon was SO excited, he gave away that she’d won! 😂 Fantastic episode. (And my first thought was “Lois & Clark”, but I figured that was too specific, so I went with Lois Lane. Great win!)

[@aprilmeireles1698]

Me too, I was with Lane too great show..😀

[@nestorsuan2182]

It was wonderful to see Mr. Deacon !! Thank you !!

[@purplefuku]

ParaWarnerViacom-17 Enterprises, Inc.: A little bit late. Can we bring in the other audience, please? “He was SO excited that he almost forgot to show his (BLANK)!!”

[@MDCSWildcats86]

A good alternate would be "Nettleton". (Did she ever do MG, or was she strictly $25K PYRAMID?)

[@mrgallagher7072]

this show makes me feel all cozy and what not

[@nestorsuan2182]

Love the Match Game PM !! Wonderful celebrities !

[@sddwtbnofather]

Janie had such a beautiful smile. She died in 2017 :( but was married to her husband for 34 years :) He died just 6 days before her :(

[@tammyodonnell5306]

Simone Guzman Thank you, Simon!! She had a beautiful smile 😊 she also had The famous Patty Hamel hair cut:)

[@gedias1]

This has got to be one of the biggest single cash prizes of that era. New cars were only about $5000.

[@arthuridis]

TPIR only gave away a maximum of $10,000 at the time. Punch-A-Bunch was the only game for it. The Bonus sections for the Big Wheel would follow a couple months after this. Grand Game wouldn't appear until 1980. Plinko 1983.

0:00-0:28 - *Johnny Olson:* Get ready to match the stars, Richard Deacon, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Patty Duke Astin, from _The Price Is Right,_ Bob Barker, and Fannie Flagg, as we play the star-studded big money _Match Game PM!_ And now, here's the star of _Match Game PM,_ *_Gene Rayburn!_*

[@matthewtaylor5771]

This was the first PM tie-breaker that was expanded to the entire panel after Richard Dawson left the show.

[@timothycarpenter9552]

Rayburn is the master, Barker was OKAY on Match Game, but Rayburn was underrated, along with Tom Kennedy his brother Jack Narz and Bill Cullen.

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Enjoyable on this Easter Sunday 🐇🐰

[@berniehobabykat]

LET YOUR FANNIE FLAGG FLY 😉😗

[@deboragustin9980]

That was so rude of Brett to point out about Fannies spelling mistakes. You could tell it bothered Fannie. And Brett did it all the time. No wonder so many couldn't stand Brett.

[@sdlively27]

I believe they were friends in real life up until Brett passed on. ;0)

[@MooncricketsInc]

Not rude at all, it was funny then, and funny now. They picked on each other all the time. Brett picked on her spelling and big chest, and Fannie returned the favor by saying she talks/drinks too much and is as ancient as a dinosaur.

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

It's not rude. Stop being nasty towards Brett. Brett and Fannie were best friends or have you missed that part? Fannie has actually written a sweet article about Brett and Charles and what they said on Match Game was NEVER mean or hurtful. Those were Fannie's words and that's how true fans see this playful banter. Just stop being nasty to Brett. Oh and looks like you're the only one who can't stand Brett and I feel so sorry for you because Brett was and is the most loved star on the panel you just have to see the amount of gifts Brett receives from her fans. So you're very wrong. Brett IS LOVED.

[@nohandle62]

More Charles, less Brett.

Nope. Brett and Charles stayed LOYAL until the end. Brett, Charles and Gene are the REAL gang.

@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 Charles maybe. Brett was only loyal to her own loud mouth.

[@adamfox9245]

Great episode!

[@zephyr2731]

I'm trying but it's not the same without Richard. I'm not a fan of Bob Barker on here. Liked him on his show but not here.

[@MatchGameProductions]

I think you will like Dick Martin, Bill Daily, and McLean Stevenson in the seat.

[@zephyr2731]

@@MatchGameProductions Dick yes. Not a fan of Bill Daly at all. McLean is ok.

[@crissrudd4554]

MGProductions McLean I don’t mind too much. Dick and Bill I’m kinda indifferent with. Nipsey or Scott aren’t too bad.

[@StLawrencePlace]

That was a shameless plug Bob made about TPIR. Off topic, I bet you TPIR saw the idea about the big wheel and added the bonus spin worth $10,000.

[@PGTransformed]

@@StLawrencePlace Of course they did! Mark Goodson produced both shows!

[@tvpmark]

That contestant from my neck-of-the-woods was smart.

[@Echognomics101]

Gene: Are you ready, Bill? Bill: I'll take B. Gene: Oh, thank you. I like how Gene thanks him and then seems to realize what just happened.

[@Echognomics101]

And there was no way the contestant was going to say "Brett's big mouth" to match Fannie on that Fannie Flagg question, but it was really funny. 🤭

[@melvingeloneck3344]

I always liked Richard Deacon's acting. Not just from "The Dick Van Dyke" show but he also did a lot of work for Disney. I remember him playing Annette Funicello's uncle on the Annette series. He also appeared in an episode of Zorro for Disney. In that episode, he played a priest who translated Chinese into Spanish (well, English in the show but supposedly Spanish). He also appeared as a coworker of Ward Cleaver on "Leave It To Beaver."

[@millionsofrecordsernieb7587]

He played Ponch's high school teacher in a CHiPs episode as well.

[@untexan]

He was either the dean or the president of that college in Blackbeard’s Ghost, maybe my favorite stupid-funny live action Disney movie

[@berniehobabykat]

Ned Flanders versus Dorothy Hamill

[@pencils812]

Lol

[@corrinewadino8771]

Let me tell you how BRETT got that position on match game, Jack Klugman was sitting in the middle on top, and he went to the Director in the producers and he explained to them and also to Gene because he and Gene are very good friends, and told them, that BRETT was sitting home all day had too much time on her hands and was drinking all day long. And since he was already doing Quincy, and spending a lot of time at the track, of course, they said OK and then when he had and gave her that spot on match game. A recommendation from Jack Klugman. And it’s a shame too because he was a very handsome and good looking man.

[@RicciBilotta]

When you type in Lois (blank) for $25,000, you kind of spoil it for others.

[@berniehobabykat]

11:24...Battle of the network boobs versus buns

[@mitchellries256]

Bob Barker made numerous appearances on this show and Tattletales, but he never participated in any other CBS game shows like that came later on like Beat The Clock, Whew, $25,000 Pyramid, Body Language or Blackout. I wonder why.🤔

[@DavidMartinez-ff7bh]

15:15 Lmaooo

[@paulgrimaldi1751]

Why was Gene always calling the celebrities 'loonies' (?)

[@pencils812]

He thinks it's hilarious.

[@adamcanova2991]

Bc ableism was normalised then

[@Echognomics101]

Because they were jokers, like Looney Tunes. Back in '73 he would call the panel dingbats. Other times I think he used words like kooks, weirdos, wackos, nuts/nutjobs. Then when they gave bad answers he could rib them, like "I told you they were [wackos]."

[@corrinewadino8771]

Bob Barker is on such an ego trip. He could never feel Dawson’s shoes.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Jeannie has the deepest tan I've seen on this show, absolutely beautiful

[@docadams7099]

Just yesterday, 8-26-23, we lost the great Bob Barker.😪😪😪😪😪

[@spuwho]

About $75k in 2022 dollars. I think the Pyramid with Dick Clark was still at $10,000 at this time.

[@arthuridis]

Nope it was $20,000 daytime. $25,000 nighttime with Bill Cullen

[@davidfritz1331]

WOW!--THREE gay celebs! Fully half of the panel: Richard Deacon, Charles Nelson Reilly and Fanny Flagg! I think that's a FIRST. WAY TO BE!! (Also, not that I'd even mind winning $21K today, but back then, a full-size car cost no more than $5000. Today they're 5-6 times as expensive. Apply THAT to $21K!)

I didn't know Richard was gay. I think I'd heard about Fanny, though. No question about Charles!

[@davidfritz1331]

It looked to me like Deacon started to say "oh shit" when he was fumbling with the cards 😄.. It's pretty obvious how much more positive the panel became after Dawson left. He played up to the contestants but was always condescending to his peers. Probably why I never watched the Feud until the Steve Harvey run. I'm a narcissist and even Dawson makes me cringe 🤷‍♂️
